Navigate the holidays without feeling like it's all on you.
The busy mom’s complete guide to zero-stress holiday magic written by Columbia trained licensed therapist with almost a decade of experience.
AS SEEN IN:
"Zero-stress holidays?"
I hear the eye-roll from here. Thinking, "Is this girl for real?"
And YES. Trust me, I've been there!
Overwhelmed, buried in festive 'magic,' and wishing for a holiday miracle.
But here's the thing – you're not alone. It's a tale as old as time, and the moment you become a Mom, somehow, we’re all tasked with the duties of family traditions.
Every mom feels this.
It's demanding and exhausting.
But just because you've become "MOM" doesn't mean you have to do this all alone! I've got a secret: there's a better way to navigate all of this without feeling like it's all on you.
You know the story all too well:
- Two weeks before Christmas and the weight on your chest tightens with each unchecked to-do.
- Shopping, wrapping, meal planning — and shit, you forgot to reply to your mother-in-law, it’s far too late now: set a reminder for the morning.
- Scrolling, you're met with picture-perfect holidays, wondering, “how does she do it all!? And why cant I keep up?”
- The season's joy dims, replaced by an all-consuming sense of urgency.
- Looking over at your partner, sleeping peacefully, a twinge of resentment bubbles up— they're not thinking about any of this! Yes, they'll assist when directed, but why is the management always on you?
- As tasks whirl around, you feel detached from the joy, and a longing emerges: to savor the season's magic, not just execute it. Yet, every unchecked box distances you from that nostalgic holiday dream.
It’s no secret that Moms make the magic happen.
But Mrs. Claus doesn’t get any of the damn credit!
Your kids' pure, blissed-out joy should feel like the ultimate win if the job wasn't so depleting and thankless - with you left picking up the post-holiday pieces.
You make the magic happen.
It’s time you get to experience it.
While you ensure perfection behind the scenes, you're missing out, preoccupied and endlessly task-focused. Your kids notice, and you feel like you're no fun. Too busy orchestrating alone so everyone else can enjoy, you sacrifice truly being present (pun absolutely intended).
The growing resentment isn’t toward your family - but toward the isolating situation and endless tasks, it feels unfair. You yearn for fun and joy, but there's simply nothing left in the tank.
But Mama, it doesn't have to be this way.
- and I’ve made just the perfect tool to get you there.

Double the Joy, Half the Work
Feeling like this was tailored just for you?
Because it was! I've spent nearly a decade understanding and helping women just like you.
Now, let me introduce myself: I’m Stassi, also known as @BossyStassi on Instagram.
Far from being your typical feminist therapist and women’s wellness coach; think of me as your outspoken bestie, here to motivate you to ditch that overwhelming mental load. I work with incredible women (yes, that’s you!) who are caught in the hustle, trying to do it all and be it all, perfectly and effortlessly.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’ve been down that road, chasing perfection and hustling like there’s no tomorrow. I know the rush, the constant sense of urgency, and the overwhelming desire to have everything just right. Been there, done that, got the gold star.
But here’s the hard truth, Girl: this relentless pursuit? It’s serving others - leaving us spent and missing out on genuine moments in life.
Because here’s the lie. You think you want perfection, and you wear that title like a badge of honor - but it’s actually just external expectations and following the rules like the “good girls” we’ve been trained to be.
I’ve helped women all over the world transform their relationships with outside expectations to cultivate a life that is truly their own. To ditch the constant rushing and to-do lists for genuine joy, fulfillment, and most importantly, EASE. It doesn’t have to be the way, and we trick ourselves into thinking we have to uphold all these standards that make us “good” moms, wives, daughters, friends, etc.
So, I'm on a mission to shake things up and show you all the burdens you’ve been lugging around without even realizing it!
I’m here to arm you with tools and strategies to help you ditch the to-do’s and confidently pursue a life that sets your soul on fire - yes, even in the midst of motherhood!
So, are you ready to drop the weight of the world, to stop hustling, and start living your most vibrant, joyful life? Hell yes, you are!
Let’s light that fire, let’s make those changes, and let’s create a life that’s not just survived, but truly lived. Welcome to the movement - Your best life is just around the corner.
The Festive AF Playbook was born from hundreds of stories like yours!
I've witnessed the struggles of women unable to even imagine what that unburdened life is like - they get tasked with a lifelong list of to-do's and wake up daily feeling dread and exhaustion.
What if you had a partner(s) for every festive task?
The Festive AF Playbook moves you from going it alone to teaming up. It's about real collaboration and partnership, turning those holiday duties into shared moments that genuinely connect your family and give both you and your spouse a shared sense of ownership and accomplishment when your family revels in the joy.
What if you got to enjoy yourself the WHOLE time?
By sharing the load using The Festive AF Playbook, you're not just marking things off a list. You're experiencing the season and building something together, making memories during mundane tasks like meal prep and stuffing stockings. Setting up family traditions you're both excited about that could last for generations. And in the end? Both you and your spouse can look back with pride, knowing you created something special together.
What if post-holiday wasn't laced with burnout and bitterness?
Say goodbye to resenting the fact it's all on you. With the Playbook, the magic of the season is a team effort. The joy? That's shared too. And the best part? The shared moments where tasks become activities that foster deeper bonds and treasured memories.
Because the most important thing your family needs this holiday season?
It’s you.
Not your labor. Not your management. Not the you who's perpetually preoccupied, with only fragments left for her kids, partner, and those sweet moments slipping by unrecognized.
Just you.
Your presence. Your joy. Your authentic self.
LET'S MAKE THAT MAGIC HAPPEN!
